    That's the forum software's actual limitations-----but those are not MW's rules. Our rules for sigs is: Signatures - No Images. Signatures must be limited to text only. No images are allowed in signatures. Text signatures should be no taller than eight lines of standard-sized text. Please see http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=23944

    No one's posted these? Hmmn. The yellow is inbetween the first pics and the more recent 'shopped pics. Still want a green canopy though...

    Absolutely. I've wanted that for years. Superion's arm-rifle is VERY distinctive (my fanon is that it's an homage to the seeker's arm-mounted fixed guns). I was hoping there'd be a clue in the "Phantom" prototype, but held out hope that it'd come with Silverbolt. The G1 toy had probably the smallest, dumbest-looking gun of the combiners, and they seem to have sorta kinda copied that.

    Pretty much that. They made a huge kibble-fest AND it's a parts-former? All that and it's still actually a less-accurate SR-71 than ROTF Jetfire was? That's sad. Phantom and Eagle look to be much better engineered, they accomplish a lot more in a given size. It REALLY looks like they picked an SR-71 just because they liked it, with NO good reason at all---not for bot mode, not for combined mode, not for kibble reasons, not for parts-forming avoidance... Plus, that gun is NOTHING like Superion's. PS---Superion's chest plate IS Silverbolt's, just with added on bits to the waist. So why did they have to add on another one that doesn't look like Silverbolt's? It's like they already fixed the G1 toy by having the chestplate on 24/7, but then screwed it up by changing it for combined mode. The UCAV should form waist/hip armor, not chest armor, if they're doing a G1 homage.

    Cancelled my pre-order. Not-Silverbolt looks like crap in every mode IMHO.

    I may buy Rumble/Buzzsaw even without owning MP Soundwave... (never owned Lazerbeak, had most other cassettes though) Even though Lazerbeak was the "star of the show" when it comes to casettes, more people owned Buzzsaw, and most of my "G1 toy casette memories" are of him.

    How big will that Epyon fig be? I still haven't bought the MG because it's taking me forever to finish my MG Wing.
  8. David Hingtgen
    It's Takara, which generally means animation over toys, so their Rumble should be blue*. *Rumble is actually purple in just about every episode.

    DX VF-25G

    You mean like this? I would vote for this pic being extremely accurate, as it also has the "dark blue instead of black" striping color.
  10. David Hingtgen
    Hmmn, might buy. Still want an Idolo more than anything else though.

    It would be easy to split up a 4-pack here at MW. Many people need just Alto, or just Ozma, etc. It'd be a fairly complicated group buy, but there'd be no problem in finding homes for each valk in the set.

    The roided-out buff pony?
  13. David Hingtgen
    Ack, sorry, was reading a -22 thread just before, got "lost in the tabs".
  14. David Hingtgen
    It's counterintuitive that LOOSENING the screws often fixes it.
  15. David Hingtgen
    They'd have a bit more space/room/hinges for the thighs if they got rid of the delimiter mode gimmick. (which only serves to make it harder to transform and cracks the thigh pieces)
  16. David Hingtgen
    Going to re-post this here---someone found a clearer pic of Not-Silverbolt:
  17. David Hingtgen
    It'd take a miracle at this point for me not to cancel my pre-order. Awful awful SR-71.

    We have however seen hangars full of maintenance people in nearly every series--it may be different maintenance, but they still need a ton of it.

  20. David Hingtgen
    ??? The way the mold is (both the F-4 and F-15), the lower legs were almost certainly always going to be entirely the main color of the jet. I've never seen anything that would indicate otherwise. (unless you're going by the very first and awful fan digibash, which didn't take the actual mold parts separation into account at all and required a zillion paint apps)

    Bishoujo Femshep turned out a lot better than Liara did: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.527085727307828.139352.137679822915089&type=1#!/media/set/?set=a.527085727307828.139352.137679822915089&type=1
  22. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, but that F-4 Phantom still has red intakes and tailplanes.
  23. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, G1 Fireflight! BTW, G1 Thundercracker is my all-time fave scheme/color combo, to the point that I seriously considered buying a Camaro that was about the same color. (deep metallic blue) But I am insanely biased towards the *toy* colors. Hate the animated colors. (DOTM Thundercracker is the first Thundercracker toy since about the first one that comes close to the original colors, and maybe the Armada repaint of Starscream---but neither are dark enough) PS---with NotSuperion costing about 600 bucks, I'd better *love* the colors. As it is, I won't be buying it. (and if Air Raid has silver intakes, then it's a definite no-buy)

    Jet mode looks like crap, color-wise, IMHO. It's a mish-mash of random parts. Instead of "red with white accents" it's like they had a red F-4, a white F-4, and tossed them together with some random black bits too. Plus, it has "KO yellow" accents. (you know, that almost flourescent lemon yellow paint). It's also a lot less cohesive in arm mode----NECIO's digibash (and any truly G1 version) (and the G1 toy) was a RED arm with some white accents. Again, this is a mish-mash of random red and white parts now: Overall, it just give me that "KO vibe" due to the classic 4-color random mix of lemon yellow, generic blue, bright red, and white parts. True, the original had all those colors---but the ratio and specific hues used made a big difference. It was a red F-4. This is---a clown F-4. I'm going to post it again----it's clear they tried to copy NECIO's design, but failed in the most important areas (RED intakes and tailplanes, and not using bright lemony yellow) (also, it's amazing how the subtle change to the tailfin makes a huge difference in how it looks---red leading edge vs striped)
  25. David Hingtgen
    No jet mode pic, and I still think red intakes would look so much better in jet mode.
